Re: First dyno disappointment...
Is it possible you are on the knock maps? Vtec feeling above 4k usually means the knock sensor is pulling timing, it stops pulling timing at 4k i believe.

Re: shift's build-that's wassup
I like how you post about your small issues. I think this is fairly common to have a lot of small stuff going wrong (i know i did), most people just dont post about it. Maybe they like to make you think everything went together perfectly :doh: I have always learned from this thread as im sure others...

Re: my first turbo build thread
Yes that valve your circled is the one way valve. Move it to the brake booster side of the distribution block and you'll be set

Re: S14wayz S14 Kouki Build
You should be fine, i had rust spots in a cylinder that boring took right out. By the way the piston melted im sure you're ok.

Re: car dies when i move the O2 sensor wire
The wire has certain current going through it telling the ecu the air/fuel mixture. If you ground the sensor wire out on the housing the voltage will drop and the ecu will add fuel so it will run badly.. this also teaches the ecu bad things since it tries to correct the mixture as it goes. Fix it ei...

Ive got an emance chipped ecu that i burn chips for. Mine came with a piece of rubber between the cover and board that holds it firmly in place. Its ghetto but it works.

If its the UEGO it uses a pre calibrated sensor so theres no setup for it. Sounds like it could be a boost leak.. or did you change the intake piping (air filter and maf) around? 12s while in boost is good.. low 10s not so much.

The maf needs straight pipe before and after it. perferably at least 12-16 inches from the turbo, and 6-10 inches of pipe before the maf to straighten the airflow out for it. Basically it needs to be in a fairly straight piece of pipe, not on the air filter or turbo. The maf has lots of trouble read...

It will run fine but check your oil, gas gets past the piston rings and your oil gets contaminated quickly. Bearings love to spin when you add a few quarts of gas to your oil. It washes the oil from the crosshatch in the cylinders as well so its not going to help the engine last a long time either. ...

Are you running a restrictor on a journal bearing turbo? Journal bearings love all the oil they can get within reason. You should only restrict it if you have a lot of oil psi and or a huge oil line therefore over oiling it and creating smoke just an FYI Check the play on your turbo when youre in th...

Only half of the exhaust port is oily.. i think it would be safe to assume the valve seal is leaking on that port. Get the head checked out, it may need a valve job reguardless.

Good plan... the cover of darkness is great for a smoking car lol Be sure to get on it a few times and heat that b*tch up If you have the option... i'd back the boost down to like 4 or 6 so its safe and be hard on it for a while to get the exhaust really hot.
